John figured they were pretty settled until Holly informed him that she got a job offer in Los Angeles.<\/span><\/p>\n

He stated he couldn\u2019t just leave, due to the fact he had cases pending. \u00a0She informed him, they needed some time apart, that she was having a difficult time with him being a cop, especially one who ended up always in the middle of any dangerous situation.<\/span><\/p>\n

John let her go, banking that she would change her mind. \u00a0Weeks turned to Months until it was almost a year. Wanting to see his wife and kids for Christmas, John traveled out to Los Angeles.<\/span><\/p>\n
